Executive performance for the on-the-go executive

MANILA, Philippines - What does a modern-day executive look for in his laptop? Let us count the ways.

Longer battery life is one. For the modern-day user, who is most likely always on the road for tons of meetings every day, it’s good to have a laptop that’s packed with more battery juice to last the daily grind.

The executive most likely needs a laptop that has substantial battery life to maintain his productivity for at least eight hours or even more, especially when traveling. For sure, the top-notch executive would find the Acer TravelMate 8481 up to par when it comes to maintaining battery power longer than other brands.

As a busy business executive, another key element to his success is his productivity. He sees to it that his every move should be productive, whether when talking on the phone to a colleague or client and yes, when engaged in work using his notebook. This is where a notebook should be reliable enough, from the boot-up to reading applications and other files, so there’s no “slow” time.

The Acer TravelMate 8481’s proprietary “Acer Instant View” technology increases work output and efficiency as it allows the executive to fast-load his notebook’s operating system and view critical files he needs in a snap, his calendar for the day, week or month, or even open office documents in a jiffy, check his e-mail minus the long wait, review contacts easily or simply open his browser to surf the Internet.

Of course, computing performance through exceptional computer hardware is definitely a must for the on-the-go executive.

Despite its ultra-thin footprint, you will find with the Acer TravelMate 8481 a power-packed computing dynamo. With the second-generation Intel Core processor inside, this new CPU architecture allows the executive to run various business productivity applications about 60 percent faster compared to the previous generation of processors, thus enabling the user to enjoy up to 2x faster multitasking capabilities.

Because of the increased productivity capabilities, the inspired executive can create more gripping and forceful presentations to clients or even the bosses up to 70 percent faster, or even crunch complex numeric computations for the financial report up to 80 percent quicker. Now that’s productivity.

Plus the fact that the Acer TravelMate 8481 comes with a dual-drive solution, you will enjoy the best of both worlds. A combined Solid State Drive (SSD) and Hard Disk Drive (HDD) further enhance your computer’s boot-up performance since the operating system is installed in the SSD and be able to enjoy large capacity storage via your HDD. It’s surely a “win-win” combo for increased work efficiency and productivity.

Well, they say that presentations to clients are the lifeblood of any executive out there who wishes to sell his product or service to a customer, and for that he needs impressive display competence from his notebook. And this is what he will find in the Acer TravelMate 8481, with Intel HD Graphics with WiDi (Wireless Display) technology.

All it takes is a simple and easy set-up and presto, the executive can already share his presentations wirelessly and make it come alive via smooth high-definition playback for greater image clarity and sound. It’s definitely plus points for him from a client who will surely be impressed.

And definitely, when working alone or even trying to grab a short break from his tedious work, the businessman will find the Acer TravelMate 8481’s 14-inch LCD screen a true visual delight and in a 13-inch ultra-thin form factor, he will have more display real estate to allow him to review his presentation or even watch a short movie to rest his mind from the tough grind ahead.

After performance, security and design aesthetics, it is important for the executive to protect all his important files, and he will find the Acer TravelMate 8481’s multi-level “Acer ProShield Security” a really nifty feature. With its Pre Boot Authentication (PBA) with BIOS/HDD password, alternative Windows log-on with built-in fingerprint reader and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) password for data protection, the executive will have peace of mind in protecting his valuable files.

Other features like the Personal Secure Drive (PSD), which you can create to seamlessly store and encrypt critical files, or the “File Shredder” utility, where you can permanently remove unwanted files and folders to prevent recover, are additional layers of protection provided by the Acer TravelMate 8481 for further security.
